oligotm 1.1.4 11/30/2011 OLIGOTM(1)
Description
oligotm prints the melting temperature of a given deoxyribonucleotide on the standard output. It is part
of the oligotm library.
Name
oligotm - Prints oligo's melting temperature on stdout
Options
-mvmonovalent_conc
Concentration of monovalent cations in mM, by default 50 mM.
-dvdivalent_conc
Concentration of divalent cations in mM, by default 0 mM.
-ndNTP_conc
Concentration of deoxynucleotide triphosphate in mM, by default 0 mM.
-ddna_conc
Concentration of DNA strands in nM, by default 50 nM.
-tp[0|1]
Specifies the table of thermodynamic parameters and the method of melting temperature calculation:
• 0 Breslauer et al., 1986 and Rychlik et al., 1990 (used by primer3 up to and including release
1.1.0). This is the default, but not the recommended value.
• 1 Use nearest neighbor parameter from SantaLucia 1998. Thisistherecommendedvalue.
-sc[0..2]
Specifies salt correction formula for the melting temperature calculation:
• 0 Schildkraut and Lifson 1965, used by primer3 up to and including release 1.1.0. This is the
default, but not the recommended value.
• 1 SantaLucia 1998. Thisistherecommendedvalue.
• 2 Owczarzy et al., 2004.
-i
prints references to publications which were used for thermodynamic calculations.
